About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their toddler has just started pointing at every car, truck, and bus with wide-eyed excitement. "Things That Go!" is the perfect first encyclopedia of vehicles for the littlest learners. This sturdy board book uses bright, clear photographs to introduce everything from race cars and fire engines to tractors and airplanes, with each vehicle clearly labeled. It taps directly into a young child's natural curiosity about the moving world around them, sparking joy with each page turn. For ages 0 to 3, it's an excellent tool for building vocabulary and satisfying a budding passion for all things that vroom, chug, and fly.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is a straightforward, secular, and factual presentation of objects.
Ideal Reader
The ideal reader is a toddler, aged 12 to 30 months, who is in the prime of their language explosion and is fascinated by the world outside their window. This child loves pointing, naming, and making sounds, and gets particularly excited by the sight and sound of vehicles.
Parent Prep
No preparation is necessary. This book can be read cold. Parents can enhance the experience by making the vehicle sounds, asking their child to point to specific pictures, or relating the pictures to vehicles they've seen in their own neighborhood. The parent has just witnessed their child's face light up at the sight of a passing garbage truck or fire engine. The child is constantly pointing out cars and making "vroom" noises, and the parent is seeking a simple, durable book to channel that interest into early learning and vocabulary expansion.
